Things You Need to Know for Spring Semester

We look forward to seeing the Vol State campus
bustling and busy soon as the spring semester gets underway. Here are a few
things to keep in mind this semester:

-We have a new building open on campus. It’s called
Wallace South and it's next to the original Wallace Health Sciences building. Wallace South is the new home to EMS, Ophthalmic, Sonography, Medical Laboratory Technology and
Sleep Diagnostics.

-Parking behind the Wallace South building is
faculty, staff and disability accessible only. The H and G lots are open to
students. They are quite large and a short walk from Wallace, Mattox and
central campus.

-To help give students more spaces the Library
parking lot has been converted to general parking with the exception of some
staff spaces. The parking spaces near the Library and directly across from
Mattox are also now general parking

-The new campus map is available online. New
students may want to print it up. As always, please give yourself extra time on
the first few days of classes to find parking and get acclimated.

-If you’re expecting a financial aid refund in the
spring, please note the new way to choose how you would like to receive your
money. You can now make your selection through the Vol State portal. Visit this link for instruction. Call the business office at 615-230-3585 if you have any
questions.-Monday, January 20th is the MLK, Jr. Holiday. There will not be any classes and the campuses will be closed.

-And finally, a reminder that we have a new smoking
policy on campus. Smoking is now only allowed in parking lots and at least 50
feet from all buildings. You will notice receptacles for cigarette butts at
these locations. Please use them or risk a fine for littering.
